The biggest diffference is that you heal from an achillies whereas with an artificial ankle joint you can never run, jump, cut, etc. ever again to any degree close to before. My doctor basically said the only time I can jog is when I am crossing a street and a car is coming. I am three years out and though better than before the replacement in terms of walking and daily life, my days of doing anything athletic are over. He will be in bed for 6 weeks. [/QUOTE]
